Riley Spencer never thought twice about keeping secretsfrom her parents—not big ones, at least. They didn’t needto know that her math tutor was also her boyfriend andthat cocktail dress she “borrowed” from her mom wouldbe back before she missed it. But when she finds a birthcertificate with the name Jane O’Callahan wedged insideher baby book, Riley must face the reality that her parentsare the ones who might be lying to her.

(From NetGAlley)

This was a pretty quick read because once I started reading it, I got sucked into the story and couldn't stop. It was twisty and turny and I fluctuated between hating Riley's parents and liking them. Sometimes,their actions seemed over the top and then something would happen to make them seem justified. And the way Riley went about piecing together the truth was pretty interesting. I liked her character. She was strong and resourceful and willing to fight for what she wanted. And JD, oh, he was a character to love! And I did. All in all, this was a good book and I recommend it for anyone who likes a good mystery/suspense family drama.
